Caspar The Riddle

A Polish author Caspar The Riddle finished language studies at Wrocław University which resulted in translations of various works from Greek and Roman Literature. Then, as a kind of exercise and for fun, he started writing original stories, first for the pleasure of creating a story from the beginning, then as a form of relaxation from professional life. After 15 years of this "accidental writing" he published several works under his original pen name, Kacper Zagadka. You can find all his books in Polish as well as English.

The Laptop Case in the Underground

It happened sort of casually. The Laptop Case became a little bit resistant, while passing through the underground entrance. My Laptop Case, without a laptop inside, has never behaved like this, so I was a bit puzzled.
